Über diesen Titel

Having spent centuries in the shadows of its neighbors China and Japan, Korea is now the object of considerable interest for radically different reasons - the South as an economic success story and for its vibrant popular culture; the North as the home to one of the world's most repressive regimes, at once both bizarre and menacing.

Korea: A Very Short Introduction explores the history, culture, and society of a deeply divided region. Michael Seth considers what it means to be Korean and analyzes how the various peoples of the Korean peninsula became one of the world's most homogeneous nations, before exploring how this nation evolved, in a single lifetime, into today's sharply contrasting societies. He also discusses how Korea fits into the larger narrative of both East Asian and world history, economically, politically, and socially.

This book really helped me understand many of the peculiarities of Korean culture today as well as just how incredibly fast the development of South Korea has progressed since the division. It also made me realise once again that a lot of conflict could have been avoided had western “allies” acted differently.

A very well summarised, quick overview of the history of the Korean peninsula.

For the short run time, it touches so many topics, not just the well known ones, but also many lesser known. im thoroughly enjoying this history lesson! highly recommend! even tho it's about Korean history as a whole, it separates each Korea's history.

Great overview of Korean History
